Review on the Stability of the Nanofluids
Both mono and hybrid nanofluids, the engineered colloidal mixture made of the base fluid and nanoparticles, have shown many interesting properties and become a high potential next-generation heat transfer fluid in various engineering applications. The present review focuses on improving the stability of the nanofluids. For this, the present review briefly summarizes the impact of nanofluid preparation on the stability of various nanofluids and described in the following classification; (a) Nanofluid constituent, (b) Nanomaterial synthesis, and (c) Nanofluid synthesis techniques which are well-grouped and thoroughly discussed. Physical mechanisms for heat transfer enhancement using nanofluids are explored as well. Most of the studies reveal that there are significant improvements in the stability of the nanofluids. Hence, there is an excellent opportunity to use stabled nanofluids in various engineering applications. Finally, some useful recommendations are also provided.
